^ That goes for pretty much all lures. If the lure is spinning there's something wonky...

If your inline spinner is twisting your line, there is something wrong with your spinner. The blade is supposed to spin, not the lure.

Try a swivle with about 12 inch floro leader helps some. Ive found stretchn my mono b4 goin out helps too. If all else fails try a shimano curado! Best reel ive ever found! Baitcastr but with some time it can be an awesome all around reel! Its all i throw. Tight lines!

If You use in-line spinners only braid line will work.

Between Showers

The 3rd or 4th or.... shower of the day had just stopped when I hooked this beauty pictured below. I was working a small riffle near water willows adjacent to a flat in Wilmington. Looked up and saw a torpedo charge from the riffle and chase a baitfish into the willows. Next cast with a Pop R on the flat and she ate it. Only one other dink, but a 2.5 lb? on topwater in the current-PRICELESS! Oh-and as a sidenote, I was premature in my praise of the Pflueger President spinning reel. Getting a lot of loop snarls now. Lost yards of line today. Was throwing a Mepps for a while, and the Paddle Shad also creates line twist.
